filesystem_spec: http implementation return error when URL contains "?"

When I try to fetch an URL with a “?” like this one:

uri = "https://www.ifremer.fr/erddap/tabledap/ArgoFloats.nc?data_center&time%3E=2026-12-20T00%3A00%3A00Z&time%3C=2026-12-27T14%3A48%3A20Z&distinct()"

which is a simple webAPI request, the http implementations throw an error because it can’t “expand” this path:

import fsspec
fs = fsspec.filesystem('http')
fs.get(uri, "toto.nc")

returns the error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)

    240         rpath = self._strip_protocol(rpath)
    241         lpath = make_path_posix(lpath)
--> 242         rpaths = self.expand_path(rpath, recursive=recursive)
    243         lpaths = other_paths(rpaths, lpath)
    244         return sync(self.loop, self._get, rpaths, lpaths)

    723         if isinstance(path, str):
--> 724             out = self.expand_path([path], recursive, maxdepth)
    725         else:
    726             out = set()

~/anaconda/envs/obidam36/lib/python3.6/site-packages/fsspec/spec.py in expand_path(self, path, recursive, maxdepth)
    737                 out.add(p)
    738         if not out:
--> 739             raise FileNotFoundError(path)
    740         return list(sorted(out))
    741 

FileNotFoundError: ['https://www.ifremer.fr/erddap/tabledap/ArgoFloats.nc?data_center&amp;time%3E=2026-12-20T00%3A00%3A00Z&amp;time%3C=2026-12-27T14%3A48%3A20Z&amp;distinct()']

going further, I found out that it is because glob.has_magic return True with the path string that the expand_path fails.

glob.has_magic(uri)
>>> True

and finally, glob returns True because of the “?” in the URI:

glob.has_magic(uri.replace("?",""))
>>> False

So, is this a bug in the internal fsspec machinery that should take more core with URLs in this case, or am I fetching this kind of webAPI the wrong way ?

Thanks for your help ! g
